tucked away in Middle St. called The Ship, Had a pint of Summer lightning,
Very good and some Gadds from Ramsgate, the Ship also have a Happy Half

is The Deal Hoy and this time of year worth trying Sheps Later Red. In
Sandwich The George And Dragon in Fisher St. has Timothy Taylor's Landlord
and Hobgoblin on as guests.

Deal Hoy Garden, it's a bit of a sun trap

Most Saturdays and Sundays you'll find us having
a drink in our local the Fluer in Sandwich, Which has a deferent guest
beer on almost every day, at the moment they are doing some very nice
christmas ales from around the country

Another local pub that's well worth a visit is The
Three Tuns at Staple some rather nice Old Bob beer on from Essex as well
as that you could also get a pint of London Pride and Green King IPA.

On Sunday January 8th we went
on our first cruise out of the year to The
Yew Tree at Barfrestone and we were not disappoint with the beer,
still got a great rage of real ales there including one at 8% called Old
Tom, cant tell you what it was like as I chickened out of having any,
however the ESB was great. Went on from there to Visit both the pubs in
Worth, beer real ales at both in fine condition.

Sunday 15th and we headed off

the landlord keeps a nice pint of Sheps Master Brew. Our next port of
call was The Sportsman at Sholden just off the main Sandwich-Deal road,
had Gadds number 5 on and Green King IPA both good. After that another
country pub that always has a good range of real ales on is the Crown
at Fingelsham. Then it was back to Sandwich and a pub we've just started
to go back into The Greyhound, well done to Bev and the gang here the
guest was great, and she promises a lot more in the future as well. I'll
